Do we really need different compatible strings for those ? I assume the
IP block is exactly the same for the two PHYs, right ? If so, we should
use the same compatible string.

Didn't we discuss that we can lookup from the PHY whether the USB
controller it is connected to is in host mode or otg mode ?

Those registers are contiguous to the register range of the PHY itself.
What was the criteria used to decide that we need two separate DT nodes
for these ?
